I need some assistance from those with more experience. I just bought a 2002 Coleman Bayside last Nov and due to extenuating circumstances, have not had the chance to take her out on her maiden voyage yet. Anyway, my siblings and their families (7 different family units, 35-40 people) are coming out from all over the country for a reunion in/near Yellowstone. My family of 5 will probably be the only ones not in a cabin. We will probably need 6 cabins, at least one with a kitchen. Do you have any recommendations for me where to lodge? We would like it close to the park since that is where we will be spending most of our time. A pool is a definite plus. We will be up there about 4 days in August. I hope I am not too late to make a reservation somewhere. I have done some internet research and will start calling today, but I have found to trust recommendations more than pictures or sales brochures. Any suggestions you may give will be very helpful. Thanks a ton for taking time to help me out.
joeBe sure to check out [Link=http://www.flaggranch.com/summer/]Flagg Ranch Resort[/link]. We stayed there for 5-6 nights during 2001. They have a campground, and lodge, and the web site mentions cabins, though I don t recall seeing them. The facilities are clean and many of the buildings are fairly new.
They have laundry, propane, a gas station, a small grocery, and a restaurant. We may have eaten breakfast in the restaurant, but don t recall...likely it was " OK" , not great or bad...would have remembered those.
It is two miles from the south entrance to Yellowstone NP and about 5 miles from Grand Teton NP. (If you go there and don t visit Grand Teton, you are committing a felony, in my opinion.) Although two miles sounds close, the south entrance is a long ways from anything in Yellowstone, so check it on a map first.
